End-of-Life Issues, Grief, and Bereavement

Mental health care for older adults inevitably involves work with issues related to dying. Part of the Wiley Series in Clinical Geropsychology, this book provides a practical overview of clinical issues related to end-of-life care including grief and bereavement. Beginning with the physiology of the dying process and its effects on patients and their loved ones, the book addresses the range of psychological interventions that can ease the process for all. As is characteristic of other books in this series, this book integrates research with practical clinical guidance.
